The show, set to be the E! channel’s first original scripted series, will “offer a fictional look behind the very public gilded façade of the palace gates to imagine the private, lush, fun, sexy world of the most-watched celebrity family,” says a statement from E!’s Jeff Olde.

Hurley will play a character called Queen Helena.

“One Tree Hill” creator Mark Schwahn will write, direct and executive produce. The show is slated for 2015.
